    YEREVAN RULES OUT ANKARA'S MEDIATION OF KARABAKH CONFLICT

    Interfax

    Russia

    Turkey cannot act as a mediator in the Armenia-Azerbaijan talks over
    resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh crisis, Armenian Foreign Minister
    Eduard Nalbandian said.

    "Any mediation or attempts to mediate by Turkey in this issue is ruled
    out," Nalbandian told a press conference held jointly with Argentine
    Foreign Minister Hector Timerman in Yerevan on Tuesday.

    In late August Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu expressed
    Turkey's wish to host talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan in Istanbul.

    "What does this proposal mean? That the numerous meetings held over
    Nagorno-Karabakh in various countries and more recently in a number
    of Russian cities failed to lead to the expected result just because
    they were not held in Istanbul?" Nalbandian said.

    Turkish mediation or attempts to mediate issues concerning its
    neighbors "have never produced a positive result, but rather the
    opposite," he said.

    "It was stated on many occasions, including by our country, that
    on this issue Turkey does not have a mediating role," the Armenian
    foreign minister said.
